Not that surprising, HN and the tech industry in general leans very liberal on economic issues.

  Overpriced middle men doesn't seem that liberal to me. I also see a generally positive attitude towards Tesla trying to direct sell to customers and fighting car dealerships. A legitimate comparison in my mind. But by volume of DV, I guess HN has some interesting minds here as well.

    "liberal on economic issues" means people/companies are free to do whatever they want with their money and property. So artists and event-planners are free to sell tickets to scalpers, scalpers are free to sell tickets to concert-goers, concert-goers are free to buy tickets from whoever they want, and Tesla can direct sell to customers, all at whatever price they want/can.

    It's not pro-scalping as much as it's pro-market, at least from what I've read in this thread.
